=>

Recall that the sum of terms of an arithmetic sequence is {(a+l)/2}*n where a is the first term, l is the last term and n is the number of terms.

We are told that {(a+l)/2}*n = 42 or n(a+l) = 84.
Thus, n is a factor of 84.
7 is the unique factor of 84 among the choices.

Therefore, the answer is A.
Answer: A
